1. What is the "Japanese" ?

I am a Japanese. Almost all the Japanese speak and write the Japanese. Me too. But I have an inferiority complex to the Japanese. Some people in Japan often blame my speech style, "Your speech seems bad, because I could not listen to your end of speach. "

As you know, result of a sentence in the Japanese exists at the end of it. The compliants found the fault in my speech and would correct my fault. Now I have a conscious to speak clearly at the end of sentences, especially to my complaints. To tell the truth, they have mistakes as same as my one, at the end of their speech was blurring!

2. Too many "I think ... "

Some japanese people start the greeting like that, "Now I think we want to begin the party." I wonder that " I think " and "we want" . Are they kinds of ambiguousty? If I were the MC, I will say, "Now we start the party". (2013-06-16)
